Carefree Path of Dreams

The Golden Soul Sect Grand Unity Immortal guarding Yanyang City had the honorable name of ‘Wu Yuan’.

Grand Unity Immortals were at the apex of the Holy Lands. They possessed real power, and even the sect masters had to be wary of them.

Fang Yuan could feel the deep and unpredictable power of a Great Dao as he approached the main hall.

A Grand Unity Immortal had definitely mastered a Great Dao of some sort. Their strength was comparable to that of a Mental Demon Demon God!

“Greetings, Elder Wu Yuan. Qiu Tianfeng asks for an audience with three core disciples!”

Here, even the eldest senior brother Qiu Tianfeng was very humble and respectful.

“Come in!” The impressive voice seemed to resonate within their souls. The door opened without anyone moving it, and everyone walked it.

The body of this Golden Soul Sect Grand Unity Immortal doesn’t seem to have reached the primordial treasure level… But I can’t kill him! Fang Yuan determined through the aura.

The strength of this Grand Unity Immortal was definitely above that of Sethgu. He was at least at the level of the two weakened Ice and Fire Godfiends.

Of course, because of the superiority of the bodies of Primordial Godfiends, ordinary Grand Unity Immortals would not be their match if they were at their peak.

“We greet Immortal!” The four core disciples bowed together.

“Are these three the new core disciples? Not bad…”

Fang Yuan felt a piercing gaze upon him, feeling as though it almost saw through his intrinsic quality.

Fortunately, he had put the items that could arouse suspicion in the Pantheon Palace beforehand, which he had hid alongside his materialization in a space in his dantian.

The ability of his Illusion Realm’s nomological laws to store items in the void had increased along with the improvement of his strength. This Grand Unity Immortal would not check his dantian bit by bit, so it was very hopeful that he would get past this.

“Myriad Poison Mixed Element Body? You might be able to withstand the pain from thousands of poisons, but your body has residual toxicity. You must refine and get rid of these poisons before continuing…”

“The Bloodline of the Arc is extremely precious and very helpful for refining the body. However, your foundation is unstable. Refine your body to become comparable to an immortal artifact before doing anything else…”

“As for you…” Grand Unity Immortal Wu Yuan scanned Fang Yuan. “The Nine Transference Undying Method is the foundation of our sect. Results are slow, but your foundation is solid. Continue with what you’re doing…”

“Thank you for your guidance, Elder!” Tie Xinku and the others thanked him quickly after receiving his guidance.

“Tianfeng, I know why you’re here. I’m opening the door of convenience for you. Core disciples, you can explore the mysterious realm at will after completing your tasks. Just be careful!”

Obviously, Grand Unity Immortal Wu Yuan treated Qiu Tianfeng quite differently from the rest.

After a few words, he waved his hand dismissively. Fang Yuan and the rest immediately left.

“What a pity…” Huang Yue sighed with regret after some distance away. “Seems like we’re inadequate for the elder!”

“It’s not that easy for a Grand Unity to take in a disciple.” Qiu Tianfeng shook his head. “I think Grand Martial Uncle Wu Yuan has the best opinion of Li Hun. You can’t be lazy while staying here. There might still be a glimmer of hope… As for Junior Brother Tie and Junior Sister Huang, there’s no need to be discouraged. Our sect has more than a dozen Grand Unity Immortals. Perhaps you’re just not fated with him.”

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother!” Tie Xinku and Huang Yue thanked him sincerely, bid farewell, and departed for their cave abodes.

Xie Wufeng, Lu Wen, and Xia Qinghe were already waiting in front of Qiu Tianfeng’s cave abode. They entered together and activated the restrictions.

“How are these three core disciples?” Lu Wen asked impatiently.

“They shouldn’t be spies or have any big secrets on them if they could get through Elder Wu Yuan… We can absorb them!” Qiu Tianfeng was expressionless.

“In that case, we can use them for exploring the mysterious realm! They are core disciples after all, much better than those inner disciples…” Xie Wufeng said coldly, completely different from his earlier cordiality. This seemed to be his true nature.

“Of course… If it becomes clear that they have the aptitude and the affinity to be able to survive, they can join us,” Xia Qinghe added gleefully. “But we still have to be careful. Who knows whether they’re spies sent by those two!”

“Hmph! I will subdue Ji Ruyu and Hua Tianba sooner or later!” Qiu Tianfeng snorted coldly with a domineering attitude. “I’m going to be the sect master of the Golden Soul Sect in the future. I’ll even break through Grand Unity. How could I not have any subordinates? The two of them are just right!”

Xie Wufeng and Lu Wen exchanged glances without a word.

Only veterans like them knew that such a Qiu Tianfeng was the norm.

Humility and politeness were only for show.

…

A few months later.

“Omnidirectional Bronze Man, kill!”

In the wilderness outside of Yanyang City, a hundred disciples answered Fang Yuan’s order. A formation rose into the air and turned into a huge bronze figure. Under Fang Yuan’s control, it punched.

Rumble!

The otherworldly demon opposite them howled, and a giant hole appeared in its body. Flesh and blood flew.

“Die!”

Saber light flashed, instantly turning the otherworldly demon into ashes.

“Senior Brother Li Hun, we killed another otherworldly demon!”

The bronze man dispersed and turned back into many excited inner disciples. “The Omnidirectional Bronze Man Formation will only be able to unleash such power when a core disciple presides over it!”

The power of a hundred inner disciples was comparable to that of an Immortal. Their bodies were akin to a top-grade dao artifact, and combined with this formation of the Golden Soul Sect, they could deal with ordinary otherworldly demons.

This was where the significance of the Golden Soul Sect’s missions was. Otherwise, these cultivators would just be here to die.

If a core disciple presided over the formation and became the core, they could overcome the shortcoming of the Omnidirectional Bronze Man Formation. Depending on the strength of the core disciple, they could even hunt otherworldly demons!

“No wonder it’s a cultivation Holy Land. This is its foundation!” Fang Yuan was greatly inspired.

He had only done what he was supposed to do. He had revealed the third transference of the Nine Transference Undying Method and also his Nomological Laws of Saber at perfection to improve the Omnidirectional Bronze Man Formation.

This formation was only the most basic version. There was also the Thousand Transformation Iron Body Formation and the strongest Ten Thousand Golden Soul Formation, which could even threaten Chaos Godfiends!

“Hmm, we’ve shown enough results for our hunt this time! It’s time to go back!” Fang Yuan waved his hand, and the other disciples cheered.

After all, it was possible to encounter otherworldly demons outside Yanyang City at any time.

He took out a flying ship. It might only be a dao artifact, but it was more than enough to transport a hundred people.

From the void, a shadow teleported into the main cabin of the ship without these inner disciples noticing.

“My Torch Dragon clone is finally here!”

Fang Yuan looked at his clone in front of him and swallowed the half Primordial Godfiend origin crystal. He refined it within, and the mysterious black-red pattern appeared on his body.

“My clone has reached the fifth level of the Undying Demon Body. Even if I completely convert the Nine Transference Undying Method, I’ll only reach the third or fourth level and still be easily discoverable…”

Fang Yuan decided after some thought. “My main body can lay a good foundation while I continue staying in Yanyang City. My clone will stay outside and kill otherworldly demons to improve his cultivation!”

His main body shared the same memories with his clone, so he would quickly catch up in cultivation as long as he had the resources.

It was naturally a great idea.

After all, his main body had to use the Nine Transference Undying Method as a cover. When he no longer needed to stay hidden, he would directly absorb a lot of resources and rush straight to the seventh level!

The clone has to reach the seventh level first for me to be able to achieve this. Who knows how many Godfiends he’ll have to kill!

The resources required to refine his body to the primordial treasure realm could form mountains and fill seas.

On the surface, Qiu Tianfeng might have comforted Fang Yuan, saying that he had the most attention placed on him, but he had secretly given up on Fang Yuan.

Although cultivating the Nine Transference Undying Method gave him a solid foundation, the time and resources required were infamous.

Qiu Tianfeng might have already become the sect master by the time he could use him.

… Why else would I have so many dangerous and tiring tasks? Fang Yuan smiled coldly.

However, this arrangement matched his intent, so he allowed it to continue. Still, it had raised his vigilance toward Qiu Tianfeng, knowing now that underneath this person’s honey words, he was definitely a huge villain.

“Junior Brother, you’re back, and you’ve killed three otherworldly demons today. Great. As expected of a core disciple. Senior Brother will record your achievements!” In Yanyang City, Lu Wen smiled happily while looking at Fang Yuan’s achievements. “There’s still one more matter I hope Junior Brother can help me with! I hope you won’t reject me!”

“Oh? What is it?” Fang Yuan’s expression remained unchanged.

“I hope Junior Brother can replace me on my patrol task this year… I received an order from Eldest Senior Brother to do something for him!” Lu Wen said, all smiles.

“Hmm… In that case, I’ll take it on!” Fang Yuan said no more as he took Lu Wen’s task scroll and left.

“Senior Brother, isn’t this a bit much…” Xia Qinghe’s figure appeared with a flash. “You even used Eldest Senior Brother’s name…”

“It’s dangerous outside the city nowadays. No one can guarantee that we won’t meet a Primordial Godfiend. Even though the probability is low, how can I put myself at risk? Since he finishes his tasks so quickly, he can take on more work!”

Lu Wen said nonchalantly, “Someone cultivating the Nine Transference Undying Method can’t possibly surpass you and me.”

The contempt of the superiors usually became worse in the hands of the operators.

Obviously, Fang Yuan seemed the weakest among the core disciples, so he naturally wanted to exploit him as much as possible.

“Sorry…”

Fang Yuan met Tie Xinku and Huang Yue once he was out of the courtyard. Their faces were full of guilt. “We’ll personally ask Eldest Senior Brother for you when you’re back!”

“Okay, I’ll rely on you two then!” Fang Yuan left without any expression. A hint of ridicule flashed through his eyes.
